THIS IS NOT RIGHT -- A Review by Sen. Whitehouse, MVP of the Senate, on why it is not.

Amy Coney-Barrett to rule on LGBTQ case whose anti-LGBTQ attorneys paid her 5 times for speaking engagements.

Clear conflict of interest.

Coney-Barrett needs to recuse herself. But then, having a fellow justice, Clarence Thomas, who has himself refused to recuse, she'll not likely recuse from this case, either.

Our Third Branch is a captured political entity, and if that political entity rules in favor of the 'independent state legislature doctrine in Moore v Harper, they will make sure the federal government will be captured, too.

2. Thank you back, Uncle Joe.

3. You know, I couldn't help but think

if he ever became President, just the name would be great President Whitehouse

4. You have read my mind. He'd be the GOAT Explainer-in-Chief.

President Whitehouse has layers of ring and irony to it. But I've also got to say that he's more valuable right now as a senator.

5. Is it wrong that I have a crush on Sheldon W.?

I'm old and happily married, but I ain't dead..

6. Nope. You are not alone, friend.

Of course you're not wrong! And even flirting isn't wrong; he probably gets that a lot.

That said, admiring isn't to be conflated with desiring.

I'm an old widow. That said, his mind does make the rest of him seem pretty attractive. I'm also old enough to see that just because I have a deep admiration for his mind doesn't mean I'm attracted to the rest of him, though there is that aura of power about him.

His power is in his studious brilliance, right? He'd probably poll through the roof if these videos got millions of views.

We'll just have to keep our heads on straight and enjoy the feeling of attraction, right?
